There was an attempt to create a Debian package for XSD/e. The problem
is that the runtime library configuration is very target-specific (some
need STL, others don't, some need C++ exceptions, others don't, etc.).
So it normally makes sense to get the source code for the runtime and
build a custom configuration rather than get a pre-built package.

But I guess for more general-purpose applications that use XSD/e a "max"
configuration (i.e., everything enabled) could make sense. So If you would
like to package XSD/e and upload it to the Debian repository, then that
would definitely be welcome.
